We can say that we're pretty lucky since, over time, we've had the chance to test most of the new products introduced by Sony in their various Walkman lines, whether we're talking about the company's super-slim A-845 model or their touch-enabled X-series (with plenty of other products in between), but we really wanted to check out one of their very futuristic-looking wearable Walkman products as well.So, without further ado, here's the Sony W252 Wearable Walkman MP3 Player (yeah, that's a pretty long name, by all accounts), a music player pertaining to the Japanese company's W series that tackles this whol... [read more >>] Although Solid State Drives have been slowly but surely gaining momentum, traditional hard disk storage manufacturers have been reluctant to make their entrance into this market, Western Digital being the first such producer to release an SSD, the WD SiliconEdge Blue that we are going to take a look at today.Available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities, the latter model being the one that made its way into our testing labs thanks to ELKOTech, the SiliconEdge SSDs retain the naming scheme used by Western Digital for its hard drives, the Blue moniker being used to describe a drive that targets mainstream PC users, so don't expect this t... [read more >>] Without a doubt, the popularity enjoyed by the USB 3.0 (also known as SuperSpeed) technology is on the rise, and if at least half of the products that will arrive on the market are as impressive as the Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive we've just tested, then we're pretty sure that this particular brand of products will enjoy a huge level of success on the future.The storage solution in question is Kingston's first to grant users access to the very high data transfer rates enabled by SuperSpeed USB, provided, of course, they have a system equipped with an USB 3.0 port.Luckily, more and systems that c... [read more >>] Quite some time has passed since Nvidia first introduced the Fermi architecture back in March, but it's widespread adoption has been held back by the lack of more low-end solutions, most buyers being interested in midrange graphics cards that usually come with a much lower price tag.The GTX 460 managed to get some of this market, but a much lower priced solution was needed in order to cater to those users that had even tighter budgets, so the GF106 graphics core was created.This chip is what powers the GTS 450 in order to provide mainstream users with a DirectX 11 capable alternative to AMD HD 5770 and HD 5750 based solutions, Nvidia&#... [read more >>] Mirrorless, interchangeable-lens digital cameras are probably the hottest trend in digital photography right now, with some of the major players in this segment introducing at least one series of products of this type onto the market, including here Sony, who launched early in May 2010 the NEX series of pocket DSLRs, as we like to call them. As you will certainly remember, we've had the chance to take quite a close look at two of the first such mirrorless interchangeable lens digital cameras, namely the Olympus PEN E-P1 and its successor, the E-PL1, which are excellent imagers, so we had some pretty high expectations from the camera de... [read more >>] Rugged handheld GPS navigators should be one of the first items on any serious outdoors adventurer's checklist, since these things can provide a host of interesting (and perhaps even life-saving) features, and the Garmin Oregon 450t that we've had the chance of testing quite thoroughly, is a very good example of what a such a device should be able to offer.We're pretty sure that just about every single one of you have heard about Garmin, since this company has quite a long history in the field of navigation and orientation devices.And although they do have quite an impressive lineup of GPS navigators designed specifically fo... [read more >>] There was a time when watching a movie meant that you had to go to a cinema, choose one of the titles that were running and stay in a room full of strangers watching the movie in total silence without any breaks, whether you liked it or not.Then the entertainment revolution came along and movies moved in your living room.Munchies were available whenever you liked and pause was just a button away.But then, things got a new turn and content starting to move to the Internet, so much that you now find yourself spending more time in front of a computer monitor then in front of the TV.And who can blame you?YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, just to name a f... [read more >>] Ever since my first encounter with the N73Jn multimedia notebook from Asus (or better said, ever since my ears made direct contact with the amazing sound provided by the N73Jn's sound system), I really wanted to get to experience that sensation one more time, and, of course, share the whole feeling with you. And courtesy of our friends from Asus, that's exactly what I'll do as follows, hopefully managing to at least partially re-create the overall sensations one might get when using Asus' multimedia notebook. Before going deeper into what makes this notebook a multimedia powerhouse, a few introductory words. So, the N73... [read more >>] We live in a world where content in digital form rules supreme, a world in which the Internet has become the most important entertainment-delivery solution, prompting people to actually spend more time in front of their computers than their TVs. Nevertheless, a computer display, no matter how large, will never be able to offer the same impressive quality and size as a widecreen HDTV, and, for this reason, many people would rather use the latter for viewing movies and video clips.One way to do so is to connect a computer to the TV set via a VGA or HDMI cable. But that's not always very practical, and, in some situation, can prove to be ... [read more >>] I'm not really sure just how many of you can still recall the advent of netbooks, as well as the fact that some of the world's most important portable computing solutions' manufacturers sort of shunned away at the idea at the first, with Asus being one of the sole backers of this trend, at least in the beginning. Anyway, Sony was actually no different from the others, so they've adopted the netbook trend quite late, a lot later than most of the competition, in fact. Funny thing, they haven't even called it a netbook, but rather a “Lifestyle PC”, in an attempt to differentiate themselves from the competi... [read more >>] |
